FERRULE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 425,464, dated April 15, 1890. Application filed September 27, 1889- Serial No. 325,326. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, Connor S. SMITH, of Riverside, Burlington county, State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and usef ul Improvement in Ferrules; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention is a modification of an improvement on. my invention described and claimed in Letters Patent of the United States, numbered 407,37 5, granted July 23, 1889; and it consists in a hollow-tipped ferrule having a disk or washer within the ferrule adjusted over the mouth of the hollow tip and secured therein, and thereto by solder or other suitable means, at the same time also securing the hollow tip firmly in and to the ferrule-shank and preventing it in use from being forced or driven up. The disk is preferably nicked or scalloped around its circumference.

The object of my invention is to provide a means of readily soldering and securing the hollow tip within the ferrule-shank.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a View of the end of an umbrella-stick with the ferrule applied. Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal sectional view of the hollow-tipped ferrule with the disk applied and secured. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on the line a: a: of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 shows the disk detached in perspective.

A is the main shank of the ferrule, and a is the hollow tip.

b is the disk or washer.

As a matter of construction, after the tip a has been forced into the proper position in the ferrule-shank A the disk or washer b is then forced to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, immediately upon and over the mouth of the tip a.

. As before noted, the disk is preferably scalloped or nicked around its circumference, so that the solder, which is dropped in after the disk is in position, may work through to and upon the upper edges of the tip, and thereby cement and secure the tip a' and the disk I) and the shank A together.

In the drawings I have shown a desirable shape and size of the disk or washer b; but I do not limit myself to this particular design. I am aware that Letters Patent have been issued for metallic ferrule points or tips provided with circumferential shoulders to abut against the end of the ferrule-shank, thus to preventthe tip from being driven up, and having secured in the said tip or point another inverted tip to produce the shoulder and secure the tip or point to the ferruleshank. This I do not claim.

. Having thus described my invention, what I ferrule-shank A, in combination with a disk or washer 17, substantially as hereinbefore set forth and described.

2. In a ferrule, a shank A, a tip a, and a disk or washer 11, substantially as hereinbefore set forth and described.

3. A hollow-tipped ferrule having a disk or washer within the ferrule shank covering the mouth of the hollow tip, substantially as hereinbefore set forth and described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of September, A. D. 1889.
